GOODMEN is a high-energy BMS-originating track by the prolific doujin composer EBIMAYO, added to maimai during the MURASAKi era in February 2017. The song debuted at the G2R2014 "GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS" BMS contest, where it placed 28th overall, and carries EBIMAYO's self-styled genre label "GOODCORE", a descriptor that would go on to define a whole series of his compositions. GOODMEN marks the first entry in EBIMAYO's "GOOD" series, which later expanded to include GOODTEK (CHUNITHM), GOODBOUNCE, GOODRAGE (ONGEKI), and others, making it a foundational piece in the composer's catalog. The version heard in maimai is a remastered rendition of the original BMS release: both the audio and the background video were reworked specifically for the arcade game, and the remastered cut appears on EBIMAYO's album GOODCOLLECTION ANOTHER under the title "GOODMEN (for maimai)". In maimai, GOODMEN's EXPERT chart was designed by ぴちネコ (Pichineko) and its MASTER chart by はっぴー (Happy). The song's MASTER difficulty has been reassessed multiple times across maimai versions, rising from level 11 at launch to its current level 13 (constant 13.4), reflecting both the community's evolving skill ceiling and the chart's enduring challenge. Beyond maimai, GOODMEN also appears in the rhythm game Muse Dash by PeroPeroGames. An enduring piece of trivia among fans is that the song takes its name from a real-world ramen shop called GOODMEN in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture, a namesake that, like many local eateries, has since closed its doors.
